EMPOWERING WOMEN LEADERS

What it's about

UNDER-REPRESENTATION OF WOMEN LEADERS 📌 Of the 195 independent countries in the world, only 17 are led by women. 📌 Women hold just 22% of seats in parliaments globally. 📌 In the United Kingdom, about 30% of seats in Parliament are held by women. 📌 In the European Parliament, only 35% of the seats are held by women. The percentage of women in leadership roles is even lower in the corporate world: 📉 A meagre 6% of the S&P 500 CEOs are women. 📉 Throughout Europe, women hold only 23% of board seats. 📉 In the United Kingdom, women hold only 21% of senior executive positions and 23% of board seats among the FTSE 100 companies. None of these figures are close to an equal representation of 50%! COACHING FOR WOMEN LEADERS In addition to the external barriers erected by society, women are hindered by barriers that exist within themselves. Women hold themselves back by lacking self-confidence, self-belief and a feeling of self-worth, by not raising their hands, and by pulling back when they should be leaning in. They internalise the negative messages they hear throughout their lives – the messages that say it’s wrong to be outspoken, aggressive, more powerful than men. They lower their expectations of what they can achieve. Freeing oneself from these internal barriers is critical to gaining power. These internal barriers are rarely discussed and often underplayed. However, considering the impact they have on women’s lives and careers, they deserve a lot more attention.
